I’ve got endpoints exposed and also have exposed post/all get settings in the Bubble settings screen to totally open the apps and it’s data but can’t _trigger_ the workflow from the other app… Where is it supposed to be? ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/2X/0/0f7007e7cea2b4835ad566598a3f1f5e249ebd2a.png) ---

There’s probably something wrong with your setup. Did you make sure in the API connector that “Use As” is set as ACTION and not DATA ? ---

I’m just submitting a bug report now… You cannot switch it. The only option i get is data… no action. nothing in the drop down other than Data. ---

Hello, If a call is a GET call, there is no way you can use as data. ---

As you can see, it’s data, i need action. There is nothing in the drop down. ---

If bid is a GET call, but not a worklfow, it can’t be action. ---

Both my apps that I’m connecting together are set without the Thread being a GET call (I hope I’m doing this right): ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/2X/5/523ac80dee2e24717c28cc38ee04cbdd850baab4.png) Then when I go to either app and try to add the API call I still don’t have the option to set it as Action: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/2X/0/0a8638894f4b89ad48155dc69a0df7f27e028026.png) I’m trying to create 2 apps. 1 is a driver app and the other is 1 is a passenger app. Each side can send messages to the other party and start threads. I need to be able to access these threads and add new message texts to them from either side. Unless there is a better way of doing this. Very messy it seems and I’m stuck without a clear(er) understanding. ---

So if a call name is the name of the type you’re exposing, it’s only going to be a Data, if it’s a workflow, you can keep, since if you use a return data action, it can return a data (and of course it can be a workflow since it’s a workflow in the first place). ---

Ok, made some progress on that but now faced with a bubble error: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/2X/a/a0a6132fdbc139f623f84c87370d239d18c02c47.png) How can i view what is causing this error? ---

One other thing of concern is i see this: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/2X/6/67a355ff51f15476814dd2ee1daac9abe4b68373.png)Which isn’t the data. “text (ID)”? ---

Additionally, I get a privacy rules error but my app is totally open, and i’ve even exposed all the api’s without authentication + ignore set them to privacy rules and I’m still seeing the server error and authentication issue: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/2X/0/09126121004710b33279d34126c47918ecbffad6.png) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/2X/a/a91d721ee2b125a2e7e0e74e176535b26ef3d03a.png) ---

There is no way we can help without a way to reproduce. ---

I agree. But I’m building a mobile app (multiple views) and it’s unlike a standard website. You can’t be pointed to the spot as easily as there are no pages to navigate… Do you have any suggestions? Video demo? ---

Well if it’s only happening on native, we’ won’t be able to fix it as we’re in early beta. But if you can reproduce this on a website then please file a bug report. In any case, please do not post screenshots like this, that’s not helpful for us to help and doesn’t help the community in general. Thanks ---

I have re-produced the issue on 2 new apps that are simply a messager between two applications syncing the threads together. - Apps are wide open and all api’s turned on. - Message + thread types have been setup. - APP connector has been configured along with calls. Go to page “ios-app” for both apps as this is a native app. There are no hidden groups to deal with for the purposes of this test. APP A [https://app-a.bubbleapps.io/version-test/ios-app?debug\_mode=true](https://app-a.bubbleapps.io/version-test/ios-app?debug_mode=true) > **[Bubble Editor - app-a](https://bubble.io/page?type=page&name=ios-app&id=app-a&tab=tabs-1)** > > Build stuff without code and launch a startup without a tech-cofounder! Bubble is a visual programing language. Instead of typing code, use a visual editor to build applications. APP B [https://app-b.bubbleapps.io/version-test/ios-app?debug\_mode=true](https://app-b.bubbleapps.io/version-test/ios-app?debug_mode=true) > **[Bubble Editor - App-b](https://bubble.io/page?type=page&name=ios-app&id=app-b&tab=tabs-6)** > > Build stuff without code and launch a startup without a tech-cofounder!

Ah. Sorry i was not clear. This is not reproducing the bug. I think that my logic produced it inadvertantly. I have set up what i am trying to configure on this test app. I was also considering a 3rd app connected to hold the message “Threads” but again, i think i just need some clear help and ill be done with it… (an entire day later) (Unless you prefer a bug report that is…)
